Hi,
My first venture into the forums so apologies if I'm making any ozb no no's
I'm out looking for a 7T Pro and having looked up tons of various grey import sites, and finding they all are extremely shifty, I've reached a crossroads between BuyBuyBox and Banggood. BBB is about $35 cheaper than BG but there is so much back and forth about warranty, which is less suspicious, better customer service and the like that I have no idea who to consider purchasing from.
There are so many deals from BBB so I thought they'd be better but after being confronted by a big security risk message just trying to get to their website, I'm not so sure anymore.
For those who have experience purchasing from these online stores, which offers better peace of mind? If BBB is just gonna run away with my money the moment I hit a fault, I'd rather just cop the extra cost.
If there's a store that trumps both, I'd love to hear about it!
Thanks
You are looking to buy from a grey market seller to get the bargain price. Nothing wrong with that, most of us do it.
The sacrifice we make for that low price is no or difficult and expensive to obtain warranty, even if it is stated in their sales blurb.
BangGood and their twin store Gear Best are long established online retailers with a reasonable reputation.
BBB also sell through Ebay. Check their feedback on there to get an idea about the business.
They also have a FB page… have a read of their community posts on there!! Several have sent phones for warranty service never to be seen again it seems.
They get some mention on Product Review from unhappy customers also… https://www.productreview.com.au/listings/buybuybox
